...am very friendly and outgoing and it worked out so well that I stayed with the program until the day I graduated. Tutoring, for me, is a way to share the knowledge I have with others that have similar difficulties to the ones I may have in other subjects. I enjoy teaching very much because it feels to me like I am giving back to the community and the country the knowledge and experience I...

...level. I tutor Science (Biology, Physics), Mathematics (Algebra, Algebra I), and English. I enjoy tutoring Math and Physics the most because I see it like a puzzle that needs to be solved. I don't have a standard way of teaching; I prefer to meet with the student and adapt my manner of teaching to what works best for them. When I'm not working, I enjoy reading books, and if there is a movie adaptation I'll...

...than just giving you the answer. If you take a look at my interest and hobbies, you can see that my curious drive is not limited to my academics - far from it! I am fascinated with the idea of being a Renaissance Man - a polymath basically - so I am always pushing myself to learn new things and try adventurous experiences. This might mean spending hours learning how to build a portable solar-powered...

...them, I think that the keys to unlocking the most fruitful learning experiences are: Patience, Passion and Listening - on the both the part of the student and the instructor. Its my pleasure to inspire and stir these qualities in a learning environment. The interdisciplinary nature of acting is something that carries over into my tutoring so if we are studying Spanish there is good chance music will make it into our lessons OR if...

...State University. I have several years of experience in higher education. In my two years at Tarleton State University I have taught various levels of college algebra. I have also taught at ITT Technical Institute for two years, covering many electronics and programming classes. I enjoy helping students to see difficult subjects like mathematics and programming in a different light, making the material a little less scary and a lot more understandable.

...However, I struggled a lot when the time for my SAT came around--to the point where I actually ended up needing a tutor myself for the math portion! Nonetheless, I acknowledged the power of tutoring when I ended up surpassing my own expectations for the exam! I wish to spread the benefits of knowledge and confidence in younger students. Thanks again for choosing Varsity Tutors and I look forward to hearing from you!... I strongly believe in treating others as you would like to be treated! Therefore, helping students learn in ways that I myself would have liked to be taught is of utmost importance to me.

...while analyzing their thought process. This allows the student and instructor to discover the student's misconceptions and for the student to correct them. I have found that this method is much more effective than traditional styles because when the student verbalizes their thought process and corrects their own misconceptions, it is something they will remember when it comes time for an exam. I am passionate about tutoring mathematics, physics, chemistry, and ACT prep. By having...

...Masters Degree in Social Work at Texas State University, with a focus in School Social Work. My preferred tutoring style is one-on-one because I enjoy creating a relationship with my students and I personally am very much a hands-on learner and teacher. I am a very energetic, bubbly, charismatic individual who has dedicated her life to helping children, both through teaching and social work. However, outside of tutoring, I love the outdoors (playing sand volleyball,...

...important. As a tutor, I look forward to being an engaging educator, as well as an important learning asset for each of my tutees. As an educator, I have experience tutoring many ages and learning levels. I started tutoring in high school with one student and, by word of mouth, received more students. I was a tutor in college for math and computer science. I look forward to working with each student and prepare lessons...

In NYC, I gained a wide variety of teaching and tutoring experiences in classrooms, with private clients, and via community service work for non-profit organizations. Currently, I work at a middle school in Chicago teaching middle school math, as well as tutor for city clients. I am most passionate about math, but am comfortable working with students of all ages K-12 (and beyond!)...
